Sarah, Duchess of York

Is criticism acceptable for the rest of the royal family ?

I think she could be fun. I don't normally watch but I will have a look.
Please leave Meghan and Diana alone. It's unkind. And Diana can't defend herself.

What is a husband like Andrew ?

Well, according to Sarah he is ‘the most wonderful man’, or at least that is what she said in a recent interview!
I think she comes across as quite likeable, and suppose people might like to hear what she has to say.

I read a long time ago, when they were living at South York, that Andrew spent a lot of time just slumped in front of the telly, watching videos.

Boring, depressed?

Not very intelligent?

Could be worse- could be Meghan

Probably only a matter of time when the Sussex’s have exhausted all other revenue sources !!

I like Sarah.
It’s always easier to take to those who are upbeat, optimistic and cheerful than it is to the constant whingers and whiners.

I like Sarah she seems naturally warm and friendly. Also like Josie as she comes across as a genuine down to earth friendly person - what you see is what you get. Alison I'm not keen on she seems a bit judgemental to me. The other presenters now all talk over each other a lot which I find annoying.

Oh dear! No one here seems to remember Sarah Ferguson's 1996 interview with Oprah in which she shared the difficulties she encountered living in the Royal Family and the cruel treatment she received from the British Press. That interview was the first of many with Oprah!

I don't watch Good Morning, or any similar shows but I agree that she'll do well and frankly has to earn a living.

I don’t usually watch any morning TV, but I like Sarah and I expect she’ll do well. Like many of us on GN she’s had a lot to put up with, but I haven’t noticed her whingeing.

No, I've never heard her complain or criticise the royal family who didn't appear to treat her generously - though as outsiders we are not really in a position to comment.
You have to admire a woman who picks herself and gets on with her life, even if her choices were not what many of us would have made. I'm sure she'll settle to her new roll and be less "gushy" as another poster put it. It must be pretty nerve-wracking to appear on national TV.

So she's not just a guest on the show, but one of the presenters? Blimey!

I too like Sarah, it’s all been said, but I admire her loyalty to the Royal Family, and her very obvious fondness for our late Queen.
She had lots of money making schemes over the years, but it seems she was never tempted to dish the dirt for cash.
I don’t watch morning television, but I don’t imagine anyone actually takes any notice of agony aunts anyway.

She’s lively and not stuffy. I think she will be good.

I do watch This Morning and think she was a very capable presenter. Such a bubbly personality and no whinging about her tough times including the breast cancer.

When Diana died I wrote to Sarah and still have her lovely reply.

I wish her luck.

I quite like Sarah. Let's give her a chance.

I quite like her too. She's certainly had a lot of life experiences so perhaps she is qualified to advise others by giving us the benefit of her experience. I doubt anyone takes it very seriously anyway - do they? I wouldn't.
(Re Meghan - let's hope this doesn't give her ideas.)

Well said icanhandthemback 🙃

Criticism of any member of the royal acceptable with two exceptions- Diana and Megan

Similarly, you don't appear to like criticism of any of the Royal Family with two exceptions, Diana and Megan. It seems The Royals breed very strong views amongst us!

So it's already turned into a Meghan-bashing thread - what a surprise.

Oh come off it! 🤣🤣

I don’t watch morning TV but I like Sarah Ferguson she’s fun and never lets anything get her down I hope it all goes well for her and for crying out loud leave Meghan out of it it’s just pathetic the way some people feel they have to malign her whatever the thread is about and that’s just nasty

I don’t know when Sarah and Andrew settled the dust

Diana had affairs but they didn’t treat her half as badly. They didn’t dare!

The fact that once the dust settled Fergie and Andrew successfully co-parented their daughters ought to have prompted the Queen to demonstrate her Christian beliefs.

To err is human, to forgive divine.
